Katmai Sentinel: The Watchful Brown Bear of Brooks Falls

Premium Vinyl Zero-Glare Matte Laminate Die-Cut Sticker.  Photographed in the fall of 2025 in Katmai National Park, this brown bear stands tall on a river rock near Brooks Falls, patiently scanning the water below for salmon. This elevated stance is a strategic fishing method that helps the bear spot movement in the current while conserving energy. Each bear in Katmai develops its own unique approach to fishing, and this bear’s calm focus shows the quiet intelligence and patience that define these wild icons of Alaska.

Each of my sticker designs is inspired by intimate encounters with wildlife and the creative visions they spark during my adventures in nature.
